    Great playground that is completely fenced in to contain kids. Only downside is lack of a public restroom.

    This Place Is In A Great Location, It Has Two Playgrounds and Lots Of Slides and Swings. The People Are Very Multicultural and Everyone Is Always Friendly. The Only Reason Why I Am Giving It 4 Stars Is Because This Place Has Sand. SAND EVERYWHERE!! Pearly Whites Soft Thin Sand That Gets Everywhere. I Have To Change My Daughter's Clothes and Shoes Before We Enter The Car Because She Ends Up Full of Sand. She Is Not A Child That Will Bathe Herself In Sand But Everything In The Baby Playground Has Sand, The Slides, The Toys People Donate, Everything Is Sandy and Kids Sometimes Throw Sand At Other Kids. Whoever Decided Sand Was A Good Idea Was Super Wrong!

    This park was really nice. Finding parking wasn't too hard either. It was definitely a nice sized park with activities for everybody. Lots of space to just run around and be a kid. The toddler playground could use a bit more attention but I know with covid everything has been suffering. My 3 year old absolutely loved it, she did not want to leave. I would definitely consider visiting this park if I'm in the area again.

    This is a beautiful park. Plenty of safety measures to protect the kids. Fenced playground with firm cushioned surfaces, locking gates that toddlers won't be able to open. Lots of varied play structures suited to the needs of the youngest and the oldest kids, including myself. I am a senior citizen. Lots of benches to sit down to supervise your children. A large sand lot with toys. Often there are riding toys, cars, trucks etc. I think they may be donated. A lot of shade in an area with picnic tables and charcoal grills. A lot of parents and children choose the park for parties. Outside the fenced/gated area is a large basketball court. Beyond is a dog walking area. Sidewalks surround the park. It is always very clean, although I have never seen the wonderful people who clean it. So, THANK YOU to those workers. All in all it is a just a great place. My family has enjoyed it for over 50 years.

    Neat little park—perfect for the little ones. A bit overrun with trash when we were there, but might have just been poor timing.

    This is a great neighborhood park. There are always lots of kids here and the parents are very friendly. There is a covered area with picnic tables and another picnic area near the trees with grills. There always seems to be enough tables for everyone. There's an enclosed playground with a structure for older kids and a structure for tinies. There's also a basketball court, good climbing trees and a large area of grass for playing catch. It's a relatively small park, but it packs a big punch.

    Good parking and good structures. Separate play areas for older and younger children. Fencing in makes it very safe. Water fountain but no toilet facilities. Covered area great for kids' parties. Also grills and benches for picnics. Attractive planting. Basketball court for older visitors and nice paths for kid trike or bike riding. Separate swings & slides for infants and older kids. Climbing wall. Sand area.

    Plenty of shade, which is great around this time of year. There are lots of toys and other stuff that people have left behind, so that's pretty cool too. I did notice that there were a swarm of hornets (that's what they looked like to me) around the sandbox. My daughter and I kept our distance so please be careful. Besides that, it's well-maintained and pretty clean. Enjoy!
